Chapter 10 Rectification of Military Discipline

At dusk that day, Li Zhiyun leisurely walked out of the south gate of the county. There is a small river outside the south gate, and there is a large flat beach by the river, where several groups of rebel brothers are practicing, practicing the slashing and killing movements on the battlefield.

By the river, there are more than a dozen female soldiers squatting there to wash clothes. They chattered, and from time to time there were bursts of loud laughter......

Li Zhiyun stopped on the river beach and saw the glorious sunset, across the river was a large area of farmland, scattered with houses scattered on the fields, and towering mountains in the distance.

He was admiring this beautiful picture when he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Wu Qionghua, Wu Qionghua." ”

He followed the prestige, and saw a female soldier finish washing her clothes and leave the river with a wooden basin. Ten feet away from her, another female soldier had also finished washing, and was calling her to wait for herself.

The female soldier named Wu Qionghua stood in place and waited for her companion. After the two converged, they walked back with a smile and a smile.

When the two of them passed by Li Zhiyun, he stared at the female soldier and asked, "Your name is Wu Qionghua?" ”

"yes." The female soldier stopped.

Li Zhiyun took a closer look, open! It's like that! She also had a black mole in the upper left corner of her lip. Wouldn't this sister also crossed over?

Li Zhiyun had an idea, and said loudly: "The Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger." ”

Wu Qionghua looked at him in surprise: "Fifth young master, what are you talking about?" What tiger? ”

It's over, the code doesn't match! He had no choice but to say nonsense: "There are tigers here, don't come out at night, otherwise you will be eaten by tigers!" ”

The two female soldiers looked at each other in surprise and giggled. Another female soldier said, "Where are there tigers here?" Fifth Young Master, are you talking in your sleep? ”

"There's no better, there's no better." Li Zhiyun said embarrassedly.

The next morning, Li Zhiyun was strolling down the street when he suddenly saw a large group of people gathered on the side of the road. He was idle, panicking, and when he saw that there was a bustle, he hurriedly ran over.

He opened the crowd and looked around, and saw a girl lying on the ground, about sixteen or seventeen years old, wet, barefoot, with her hair disheveled, and her face like white paper, probably dead.

Nearby, an elderly couple with gray hair and a child of twelve or thirteen years old were kneeling on the ground, crying bitterly. The onlookers were talking, and some shook their heads and sighed.

"Big brother, what's going on?" Li Zhiyun inquired to a person next to him. The man said: "This girl was ruined by several volunteers, thrown into a well, and has just been salvaged. ”

"Impossible!" Li Zhiyun was surprised, "How could the righteous army do such a thing? ”

"Why can't it be? Many people have seen it! Don't believe you ask her brother. The man said, pointing to the boy who was kneeling on the ground.

Li Zhiyun walked over, pulled the boy up, and after asking about the situation, he said, "Little brother, do you want to avenge your sister?" The boy wiped his tears from the back of his hand and nodded.

"Come with me!" He said that he pulled the boy out of the crowd and walked down the street.

They hadn't gone far when they happened to see Scarface patrolling the streets with a dozen of his brothers. Li Zhiyun shouted: "Big brother! ”

When Scarface saw that it was him, he hurriedly walked over, hugged his fists and said, "Fifth Young Master, what's the matter?" ”

Li Zhiyun turned around and pointed at the group of people: "Do you see it?" There was a girl who was abused by several volunteers and threw herself into a well. ”

Scarface was surprised when he heard this, and turned to one of the soldiers and said, "You, go over and have a look!" The soldier hurriedly ran over.

After about half a bag of cigarettes, the soldier ran back and said to Scarface, "I have asked the neighbors, and what the fifth young master said is right!" ”

Li Zhiyun pointed at the boy and said, "This is the girl's younger brother, let's take him and find out those bastards!" ”

Scarface was also very angry, and rolled up his sleeves and said, "Fifth Young Master, do what you say, I'll listen to you!" ”

Most of the rebels in the county were stationed in the Cai family ancestral hall. The surname Cai is the big surname of Ju County, so the scale of the ancestral hall is very large, with dozens of houses. Opposite the ancestral hall, against the base of the city wall, there is a large drying ground, which can be used to train soldiers.

When Li Zhiyun and the others arrived at the Cai family ancestral hall, the rebel brothers were all gathered on the playground. They were divided into several phalanxes, some practiced swordsmanship, some practiced marksmanship, some practiced sticks, and some practiced archery.

They searched for it from square to square. When they came to the Stick Phalanx, Li Zhiyun found that three guys saw them coming over and seemed to want to hide behind others.

Sure enough, the deceased's younger brother pointed his finger and said, "He! He! And him! ”

Scarface waved his hand and said, "Arrest them all!" The men rushed up and escorted the three out of the queue with a backlash. One of the slanted guys shouted, "Wang Baoqiang, you dare to catch Lao Tzu?!" You're the opposite! ”

"Wang Baoqiang?" Li Zhiyun wondered, "Who is Wang Baoqiang?" Scarface looked at him and said, "The little one is called Wang Baoqiang, what's wrong?" Li Zhiyun pinched his nose and said, "It's nothing, this name is good!" ”

Scarface glanced at the guy and whispered to him, "Fifth Young Master, take a step to speak." He pulled Li Zhiyun aside and said in a low voice, "Fifth Young Master, this matter is a little difficult to do!" ”

"What's wrong?" Li Zhiyun looked at him strangely.

"The guy who called me just now is the cousin of Manager Ma."

"Who's Mr. Ma?"

"It's the head of our entire rebel army."

Li Zhiyun thought for a while and said, "Who is older than my sister?" ”

"How can that be compared?" Scarface looked disdainful, "Your sister is the master, and he is a house slave." How can a domestic slave be compared to a master? ”

"Isn't that the end of it?" Li Zhiyun said, "If something happens, I'll take care of it!" ”

Scarface puffed up his chest and said, "Fifth Young Master, with your words, I, Wang Baoqiang, am not afraid of anything!" ”

Li Zhiyun ordered with his hands behind his back: "Wang Baoqiang, escort these guys to your station and find a room to lock them up!" Scarface hugged his fists and said, "Order!" ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Zhiyun came to the apse to find the third sister. The sister and brother sat next to the desk, he told the story of the incident, and finally said: "That family is a homeless person who fled from the Kanto region, and they did some small business in the East Market to make a living, but they didn't expect to suffer this fate!" This is the kind of paper they found someone to write, and the neighbors all drew it. ”

The third sister took the paper and looked at it, and there were more than a dozen handprints densely pressed on it. She read it carefully, and was so angry that she slapped the case: "These black sheep must not be spared!" ”

The composition of the "women's army" is complex, ranging from croppers, peddlers, pawns, and craftsmen, to robbers who have been hiding in the mountains for many years. Due to the mixed situation of fish and dragons, after occupying the relatively prosperous county seat, violations of military discipline are naturally indispensable.

A few days ago, there were a few incidents, but they were all thefts, snatching things, and fighting, and it was over with dozens of military sticks. This is the first time that such a cruelty to women and the death of a human being has happened.

The third sister sent someone to investigate again, and determined that the crimes of the three guys were undoubted, and decided to publicly behead them.

The next morning, Li Zhiyun walked into the apse and found several people standing in the house, in addition to Yinggu and Scarface, there was also a middle-aged man. This guy has a roe deer head and rat brains, and a monkey gills with a sharp mouth, and is complaining loudly to the third sister: "...... You know best the credit of my Ma Sanbao to the 'Women's Army'. Conquering He Panren, Li Zhongwen, Xiang Shanzhi, and Qiu Shili were all sent by you. All I beg you is not to cut off my cousin's head, any other punishment will do! Beat a hundred sticks, no, one hundred and twenty, so that he couldn't get out of bed for half a year......"

Li Zhiyun couldn't help but speak: "Merit is merit, fault is fault, rewards and punishments must be clear!" Besides, how can your merits be worth the sins of your cousins? ”

Ma Sanbao listened, glanced at him, and was dissatisfied: "Who are you?" Is there a place for you to speak? Ying Gu interjected: "He is the fifth young master, why can't he speak?" ”

"Fifth Young Master? Li Zhiyun? Ma Sanbao looked at him suspiciously. Ma Sanbao used to be the housekeeper of Chai Mansion, and he saw Li Zhiyun when he went to visit his sister in Chai Mansion. That was a few years ago, though. The child grows up fast, and he didn't pay attention just now, so he didn't recognize it. Now that I took a closer look, it was really Li Zhiyun, and he stopped squeaking.

The third sister waved her hand decisively and said, "Manager Ma, don't say anything!" Not to mention your cousin, even your own brother, if he commits such a great crime, I will also cut off his head! ”

Li Zhiyun looked at the third sister with a righteous face, and his heart was full of pride: This is my good sister!

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, on the wooden platform where Fang Xuanling's head was going to be cut off a few days ago, the three guys were tied up with five flowers.

Many people gathered around to watch the excitement. I didn't see it last time, but this time it's three of them, it's so enjoyable! Ka!! Ka!! Ka!! As the heads fell to the ground, the crowd let out a burst of screams, and many children were frightened and cried......
